Chapter 072: Team Tension (1)
'The dance master returned from injury, and in 45 minutes, he passed and shot and took away the best in the game! --- front-page headline of the Wolverhampton Post.
"In the 24th round of the Premier League yesterday, Portsmouth used the 5311 defensive counterattack tactics, in the face of this dense defense, in the first half, Wolverhampton's attack was a little weak, not only failed to break through the door of Portsmouth, but was counterattacked by the opponent to take the lead. In the second half, head coach Dave . Jones replaced Allen, who returned from injury, and our dance master told the opponent with his legs: this is our territory, he used a wonderful performance of one pass and one shot, and of course won the best of the game, and the most gratifying thing is that Allen did not have any psychological impact because of the injury, he is still the protagonist of the court, no one can replace him! ”
The next day, the Wolverhampton Post used the photo of Wang Li being sprayed with champagne as a front-page image, covering the match in detail and laving praise for Wang Li's performance. However, the newspaper is dedicated to the city of Wolverhampton, and of course they only write about topics of interest to local Wolverhampton fans.
And the mainstream media in England only mentioned the result of this game in the corner, Wang Li's fame is far less than those star players of the giants, and the focus of English fans is of course Chelsea vs Arsenal.
********************
Although Wolverhampton won the game, there was no laughter on the training ground of the first team, but a tense atmosphere, and every player was constantly sweating on the pitch, as if they were venting. Even Harilson and Pete, who usually like to laugh, seemed a little taciturn, keeping their heads down and constantly rubbing the ball under their feet.
Their next game will be against the league leaders, a true giants with an all-star squad--- Manchester United! Even Dave, the usually talkative head coach, has little confidence, so you can imagine that these players are even more irritable.
The greatest sorrow for a team is not defeat, but the despair of fear of opponents and powerlessness, and it is clear that Wolverhampton is a little cowardly up and down against Manchester United.
Seeing this situation, Wang Li was a little worried, so he joked to Harrielsen: "Harry, I have a few new albums of Amy, do you want to see them?" He wanted words to ease this feeling of irritability.
"It's not interesting, I already have a girlfriend, Christine is very nice to me, I like her too, and now I don't watch Amy's albums anymore." Harrison looked up at Wang Li before continuing to fiddle with the soccer ball at his feet.
Wang Li shook his head helplessly, trotted a few more steps, and walked to Miller's side, "Miller, Pete is very interested in your wife, I think you should be on guard, this kid is not a good thing." ”
"Alice is still in the United States, and I'm relieved that she can't take a fancy to such a stupid big man." Miller glanced at Pete, who was doing shooting practice on the other side of the court, and said with some disdain.
The provocation failed, Wang Li was also a little bored, so he came to Oakes, he also wanted to do some free kick practice, free kicks are very important in the game, and one more ability is very beneficial to the players.
"Alan, what are you doing here, you want to try this machine too?" Seeing Wang Li coming over, Orris asked with interest, there was a shooting machine in front of him, which would automatically pop up a ball every few seconds, all he had to do was to save as many of these balls as possible to exercise his reflexes.
"You're not afraid that I'll rob you of your job?" Wang Li smiled and continued: "Oakes, how about you come and accompany me to do shooting practice?" ”
Hearing this, Oakes immediately shook his head violently, with a pleading expression on his face, "Alan, you better look for Paul, you see I've been training here for a long time, I'm too tired, I'm about to rest for a while." After saying that, he pretended to tidy up his things and prepared to return to the sidelines.
Wang Li smiled and gave Oakes a punch, of course he knew that Oakes didn't want to train with him.
"I'm going to practice free kicks today, the kind of free kicks with the surname of the arc, I won't use force at all, don't worry!"
After hearing this, Oakes stopped what he was doing, and turned his head to stare at Wang Li suspiciously, "Really? ”

Wolverhampton Club, Head Coach Dave Brownton. In Jones's office, all the staff sat around a video recorder and watched the game on television. They had been sitting here for a whole afternoon, but none of them cried out that they were tired, and they were still all watching very carefully.
"Manchester United's front, middle and back three fronts are very sharp, the center of Ruud van Nistelrooy is still firmly in the top scorer list, the attacking ability of the forward line led by him is very strong, in addition to Scholes, Keane and even Uruguayan teenager Forlan, super substitute Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, their attacking ability is very strong, pay attention to Vanney, don't let him receive passes in the penalty area."
"On the flanks there are Ryan Giggs, Phil. Neville and Portugal's rising star C. Ronaldo, not to mention Giggs, Manchester United will definitely send C. Ronaldo in the next game, this youngster's dribbling level is very good, Butler, you are in the opposite position, you must first stabilize the defense, looking for offensive opportunities. ”
Butler nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely do a good job." ”
"Well, although in the Premier League, Manchester United's backline is already very good, but it is obviously not as good as their front, Gary Neville, Ferdinand, O'Shea These players have good strength and experience, but after watching the video of these games, you can find that the cooperation between them, the blockade of the back line is not perfect, and there are many loopholes in the players' running positions, and we must try to seize these loopholes to create scoring opportunities."
"In this game, it's almost impossible to get a point by defending, Manchester United are very attacking, they are very experienced against the iron bucket formation, and whether it is C. Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs or Scholes, these players are very good at taking free-kicks, and it is better not to foul in dangerous positions."
'Overall, although the chances are small, we still have hope of winning. Dave looked at the nervous eyes of the players and said with some relief. He knows that these players are more or less nervous, but he is not good at boosting morale, which needs more training and experience in the future.
In fact, Dave didn't have much hope for this game, and it was too difficult for a promoted horse like Wolverhampton to steal points in the hands of Manchester United. No matter in terms of tactics, personal ability, coordination, etc., they are at least a notch behind these giant teams, in the face of absolute strength, any intrigue will not play any role, Dave now has this feeling of powerlessness.
It was just a matter of luck and hopefully none of the United strikers had their boots on goal that day. He silently thought in his heart, at this time, he turned his eyes to Wang Li, "If there is a glimmer of hope of winning, it must be this kid...", but he thought of the game with Liverpool, Wang Li's weak performance, but he shook his head in disappointment, the strength of this kind of giant team is too strong, and his personal ability is like a drop in the ocean in front of the whole team, and it has become a little worthless.
